It's needed for modules that are distributed sperately, so that
they can use cc -I /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include

Or even

        l=`pwd`
        cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
        make $l/module.o

.. but there should be a cleaner way to get at the CFLAGS used
to compile the kernel.
